"The New Testament" is a collection of twenty-seven books within the "Holy Bible." It was written by a small set of various authors. Most of the books are actually letters. Even one of the gospels was a letter. This collection ends up being the answer or solution to "The Old Testament," which ended... very badly.
Honestly, after reading the latter collection, I was super depressed. I felt like there was no point to anything since humans are so impossibly stupid and evil. But what "The New Testament" brings is redemption for the few of us who actually care. We may still be less than perfect, but we now have a Redeemer. It's not one of us; I'll tell you that. It's the actual Son of God.
Now that Jesus has literally been injected into the story, everything makes sense now. There's hope. Without hope, we might as well live in sin and die. Who cares? But thankfully, there's a point to it all now. I feel so much better that we have Someone actually competent to stand up for us incredibly stupid people.
Just remember that when Jesus died, he called us all idiots. He said we should be forgiven because we don't even know what we're doing down here on Earth. And we don't. As a collective, we are the dumbest creatures the universe has ever seen. We need Jesus. We'll only fail without him.
It's easier to recommend "The New Testament" over the Old, but the latter is still relevant to understand why we needed this one. But if you have wallowed in "The Old Testament" like I have, then you need this. You really need this. It'll cure what ails ya. Not to mention that it's just so much better written. Read these books.

Yeah, skipping to the New Testament is a way to avoid suffering the sins of the world, but that is not how Jesus did things. He suffered the sins of the world. We can suffer the Old Testament to see why he did what he did.
ReplyDeletePeople have egos. They don't want to admit to their own failings. It's easier to just have a savior and not worry about anything else.
DeleteAn innocent man took all sin upon himself and suffered the ultimate price. Jesus is The Way, he made creation work when it deserved to be discarded. The Old Testament provides the whole picture that allows us to understand why The New Testament is the standard.
ReplyDeleteWithout it, all we have is the Old Testament. That's too much of a bitter pill to swallow.
DeleteWithout the hope of salvation, there is no point to existence. We are here to prove what we will be hereafter. He loved us enough to give us a Savior.
ReplyDeleteHe is the reason anything matters at all.
